Abstract:

Part I: ; The third phase of a research project investigating the field performance of jointless bridges is reported. Three ; integral abutment bridges in Vermont, US have been instrumented and monitored as part of this research. ; General descriptions of the bridges are reported along with the final instrumentation plan for each bridge. ; Installation procedures are described along with data obtained during the construction process. As the bridges ; were completed a series of load tests were performed. The live load truck positions and collected data are ; reported. Three dimensional finite element models of each bridge were developed and are described. The data ; collected during construction stages and live load testing are analyzed and compared with the results of finite ; element models. ; Part II: ; The third phase of a research project investigating the field performance of jointless bridges is reported. Three ; integral abutment bridges in Vermont, US have been instrumented and monitored as part of this research. The ; long term data collected including seasonal thermal fluctuations are analyzed and compared with the results of ; finite element models.
